At
the Institute for Astronomy, we are playing a leading role in developing
the technology that makes new scientific discoveries possible. There
are four areas in which UH astronomers and engineers are pushing observational
astronomy beyond its current boundaries:
New Telescope Projects
Special-purpose telescopes that might be built in the future.
Instrument Development
Electronic cameras and spectrographs for the telescopes on Mauna Kea and Haleakala.
Detector Development
Ultra-sensitive mega-pixel CCD arrays for detecting light and infrared radiation.
Adaptive Optics
Overcoming the image blurring that is caused by Earth's atmosphere
